The well is now approximately 25 meters deep but the rig has experienced a mechanical breakdown. We will have to wait until Monday to preceed
Day 4: The drilling crew reached roughly 25 meters (82 feet) and then the rig experienced mechanical failure. The drill remains part way down the hole so it is impossible to know how much water is in the well now. It looks like it will be Monday before the rig can be fixed, the drill removed, and the amount of water tested. I am asking that at that point the well be pumped so that we can see how much water is actually coming in.
So, I have no word at all today, except that the rig is down for awhile. This will give us more time to pray and “keep on asking” as we noted from Mathew 7:7 in yesterday’s posting.
Please keep interceding for this need with us.
The evangelistic outreaches that are taking place in various villages with the seven missionaries that came down from the north are going very well. We are enjoying having them here with us, although it makes for long and exhausting days, over and above the normal work schedule.
Theresa and I just got back to the house from ministering in the village of San Antonio Huichimal with Javier and Cristina as well as one of the Hispanic brothers who came down from San Antonio, Texas. It is now after midnight and we are still waiting for the group to arrive at our house since one of the couples is staying with us.
But God is good – even when one is exhausted.
We will keep you posted,
Steven and Theresa
